the side walls 2. These depressions prevent the movement of the inner receptacle, as will be readily understood.

The outer member is provided with a handle of the ordinary construction, as shown at 7. The inner receptacle is provided with a grip 8, which connects with the outwardly projecting portions 5, but the grip S can be removed when it is desired.

It will be seen that my invention is simple, inexpensive and durable, and that it is adapted for cooking various kinds of food, and that when the article of food has been properly cooked, the inner pan can be lifted out of the receptacle, and slipped onto the serving dish in a very convenient manner.

lVhat is claimed is In a cooking utensil, the combination of a pair of rectangular receptacles telescopically united, one being smaller than the other and provided with a perforated bottom, said smaller receptacle having its two longitudinal sides provided with outwardly projecting flanges extending beyond the sides of the larger receptacle, said flanges having centrally located elongated grooves extending their entire length to engage the upper edges of two of the sides of the larger receptacle, to hold the receptacles spaced apart, and the smaller one in a fixed position, and a removable grip having its lower ends provided with U-shaped hooks to engage the extended portions of the flanges to remove the smaller receptacle, as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
